Monsieur Mayor and the Municipal Council
of DAGLAN are pleased to invite you
to the plantation
of the Communal May
Sunday, September 25, 2022
on the Esplanade des Fetes
from 12 a.m.
As you can see from the above invitation the commune was invited to a special event last Sunday, the plantation of a very special pole to commemorate the Marie. This should have been completed a few years ago but with Covid everything stopped. So this was the first opportunity for the celebration and for people to gather and take part in the planting of the pole and of course a great time to catch up with people that you may not have seen for a long time.
Preparing the pole with the customary shield, flags and rosettes. As you can see the men wore the customary flowers in their hair or around their necks.
.
Everything was prepared, ropes secured and a few men positioned on the roof to help to lift the pole into place.
.
Moving the pole into position. At every stage of the operation the crowed of people attending the event would cheer and clap.
.
La Marseillaise and various other traditional tunes were played while the pole was slowly raised up to the sky.
.
Slowly the pole was lifted into place.
.
Once in place our neighbour scampered up the ladders to retrieve the ropes.
.
Looking splendid, a big round of cheers was given to the committee for all of their hard work.
About a hundred people attended the ceremony which was a great success.
A buffet of delicious food and drinks followed and was enjoyed by all.
A great community event, well done.
